Unless you feel an existing entry needs to be modified or deleted, there's no real point in comments on the existing entries. What might be a great idea is to use the [[Project:Interwiki map (custom)|custom list]] as a model to create a list of favorite/preferred/frequently used links and we can include them on the [[Project:Interwiki map|Interwiki map]] page. - [[User:Sans Deity|Sans Deity]] 18:40, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Latest revision as of 20:04, 29 June 2008

As decisions are made to add, modify or remove specific links, the database will be changed, the full and customized lists will be modified to reflect those changes and the comments below can be shifted to the resolved section. (The use of the strikethrough formatting is suggested)

Comments

Here are some comments I have about various entries. Please add your own comments, as desired (remember to sign them). All wikis not commented upon I either didn't know and didn't bother to check, or knew/assumed wouldn't be relevant to our purposes. - dcljr 03:08, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Might be a good idea to keep this around for linking to known bugs in MediaWiki software (i.e., in discussions on talk pages). Sure, not many of us (if anyone) will be doing that right now, but hopefully we'll be getting more wiki experts joining us soon. - dcljr

The only Wikimedia sister project I didn't include (oh, except for the new Wikiversity, which probably will eventually have relevant content). I don't think it's (Wikispecies, that is) really useful for us as it stands now, but maybe we should keep it for "completeness"? - dcljr

Yes to Wiktionary, but we should use the second form (wiktionary), not the abbreviated form. - dcljr

WikiBible

First of all, according to the request page, it should be [[WikiBible:Genesis 1]]. However, the reason it doesn't work is the same reason that the correct format wouldn't work either - it hasn't been added to the database. The request page is where we'll request an discuss changes we'd like to make to the map and once they're added, they'll be on the full page list (or, more accurately on the custom list which is transcluded to the full page list. From now until it's time to head to Ninfa's I'm going to be working on the map - adding the requested items, updating the database and the maps and (hopefully) the [[WikiBible:Genesis 1]] link will be working later tonight. - Sans Deity 17:12, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

The WikiBible entry you suggested doesn't work, I think the site may have been changed. - Sans Deity 17:27, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

Ok, I found the problem. You added the "biblewiki" entry to the list on the full list page. That doesn't actually "do" anything. What has to happen is that someone posts their suggestion on the requests page and then, I have to hand-edit the database to make the changes. I'm adding your requested biblewiki now and it should be working in just a few minutes. - Sans Deity 18:15, 7 September 2006 (CDT)

I've not only added your "biblewiki" link but I added two additional links to BibleGateway.com (biblegatewayniv and biblegatewaykjv) to cover the two most popular version. - Sans Deity 18:28, 7 September 2006 (CDT)
